Thank you for believing in me & these poems, which are about two hard moments in my life: my near-unalive attempt & my mom’s brain bleed.

Holding a book you wrote feels like all the best birthdays. This feeling never gets old.

It was originally published in my zine with @zinesandthings.bsky.social, and is forthcoming in my chapbook with @buttonpoetry.bsky.social. Anyways. I hope you like it.

Fritz’s performance rang through me, especially when he sang, “It comes and goes in waves / it always does.” This poem is about that: things coming and going in waves. Recovery and healing not being linear.

Ooo!! I like these ideas!! Here’s the playlist that goes with the cover, epigraph, and poems in the book!: spotify.link/5nmDZ6v0YXb
